Erskine College. While this number is very similar to the former issues, it has been the desire of the Staff to put out a book of the same nature as formerly issued. We have been somewhat handicapped by the smallness of our class, but We have endeavored to put out an Annual which will portray college life as it is in our midst. We have desired also to get out a book which will be a reminder of college days, recalling to our minds something of the nature and spirit of life in Erskine College long after our college days are over. This is of course our first attempt at editing an annual, so we ask our readers to over- look our faults though they may be many, and to try, if they may, to enter into the spirit of a college annual and see college life as We have attempted to represent it.

She has honored him with many oflices. He was Assistant Marshal at three Celebrations, and Chief Mar- shal for the 1915 Semi-Annual Celebra- tion. He was President of the 1916 Semi-Annual Celebration and also served as President of the Society. ln athletics, Roderick is not found want- ing. He played on the class football team for two years, and was chosen on the 'Nall star team of 1914. He has played second base on the varsity for two years and is famous around the college diamonds of the State for his fast fielding and of Heetness of foot on bases. Qwing to his Christian traits and high moral standing he was selected as a member of the Y. KI. C. A. cabinet of 1914-15, and in 1915 was elected president of the Association. Consider- ed as one of the best business men of the class he was elected Assistant Busi- ness lylanager of the Erskinian in his Junior year, and was to have been Busi- ness Nlanager of the lllagazine his Senior year had it been published. Although his college duties have claimed most of his time, he has always found time to enjoy all the social life the village has been able to furnish. Forbidden has always proven to be popular with hini, and he has always failed to see the sin in loafinq.

ROBERT GLENN BELL Rabbit Euphemian Ye gall me vlzief, and ye do well to ral! me chief. On April 16, 1895, Atlanta, Georgia, claimed the honor of having a new citi- zen in the person of Robert Glenn Bell, whose first utterance was one of lament over being a Georgia Cracker. After finishing in the Boys, High School, this jolly good fellow joined the ranks of 1916 in its Sophomore year. He has taken an active part in all the varied activities of college life, being on the Y. lVl. C. A. cabinet for three years, serving the Euphemian Society as Treas- urer and as President, and Art Editor of the ERSKINIANA. He has acquired considerable ability as an orator-win- ning the blower lldedal for declamation in his Sophomore year, and also rep- resenting Erskine in the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Contest at Spartanburg in 1915. 'fRabbit is a singer of no mean ability, being a prominent member of the Glee Club, and his voice may always be heard among the serenaders at the Woman's College after the lights have ceased to glow. He has always been noted as a professional bull artist, and this may account in part at least for his popularity with the ladies. Certain it is that he has already fallen a victim to Cupid's dart, but he still maintains a friendly interest in the fair sex. Rabbit has also shown up well as an athlete, playing for three years on the basket-ball team, class football for two years, and substitute back on the varsity in 'I5. Wlietlier' taken as a student, an orator, an athlete, a ladies' man or as an all- round college man, Rabbit has made a success, and we predict even greater success in whatever sphere of life he may be called.

To try is to succeed is the motto of 'lBish, and he has been keeping faithfully to it ever since he first tried to smile at the admiring throng that had as- sembled around his cradle back on the 28th of July, 1896. He has had that same smile on his face ever since but when he fmakesb tries to make Wickets on Forbidden and succeeds in getting an answer he tries to make that smile truly radiant. Bish is a product of the Due. West High School and since he entered Erskine he has tried to uphold the honors of that school and has suc- ceeded well in doing the same. He tried to be one of the best students in his class and has kept up a record as being an all-round college man. He joined the Euphemian Society soon after enter- ing school and has served both college and society in many capacities. Here are some of the honors bestowed upon that versatile man: Freshman Declaim- er Euphemian Semi-Annual Celebration '13g Secretary Euphemian Society, '14: Vice-President Euphemian Society, 'I52 President and Senior Orator Euphemian Society, '16g Erslzinian Staff, ,161 Editor-in-Chief ERSKINIANA, '16: Class Historiang Treasurer of Y.

On account of his linquistic ability and his felicitous relations with the ladies Bish was appointed to toast the ladies of the VVoman,s College in our Junior- Senior Banquet. Bish has no mean ath- letic ability and has made the tennis team. At Davidson he defeated his opponent in singles and did his share in the defeat of the same aggregation in doubles.

Born in 1897, on January 26th, she started to school at Due West, where she made a model pupil, and has contin- ued her academic career Without inter- ruption. She took a high stand in scholarship while at high school, and upon finishing there felt fully able to struggle for greater knowledge upon an equality with boys, and so came to Erskine, where she has continued to up- hold her record as a good student. In society she has had each year since she has been in college the most impor- tant part which could be given in her class in the annual celebration. She has also held most of the minor ollices of the society, and after serving one term as President was prevailed upon to accept a second term. She is a loyal member of the Y. VV. C. A., and has held the ollices of Secretary and Vice- President. lVe are all proud of the fact that llliss Lily has liked our company well enough to stay with us when all the other girls have deserted the class, and accordingly given her a place as one of the oflicers of the class, and elected her to the stall of ICRsKrN1,xNa, and to that of the de- ceased Er.v,l'i11i1111.

LEON A'1'WooD BROWN Tru5ty Euphemian Milly trust is in duty. On April Fool's Day, in the year 1894, there came into this world at Troutmans, N. C., a tiny boy who soon came to be known as Leon Atwood Brown. In those early days he was called Leon. This same Leon finished the High School of Troutmans, but when he entered Erskine in 1912, Leon was no moreg Trusty,, was his name for henceforth and forever. No more suit- able nickname could have been found for this earnest hard-working student, who knows not what it is to shirk a task or beat a classfl Life with him is no April Foolg it is a stern reality. Though he has not attained honors in scholarship, yet he has for two years been voted the hardest working student in college. His Sophomore Essayist's Medal from the Euphemian Society at- tests to his work in society, and his place on the ERSKINIANA staff proves his literary worth. He also is the College Reporter to the State. In Y. IMI. C. A. work, Trusty has always taken an ac- tive part, serving on the cabinet for two years and representing Erskine at Blue Ridge Y. IW. C. A. conference in IQI4. But 'lTrusty is not perfect. He es- pecially likes the hotel parlor on Satur- day evenings, and occasionally he may be seen strolling down the street by the side of a fair young maiden. Then he spends entirely too much time over his books and too much time to himself. He has not had much of the fun of col- lege life because he hasn't had time. But he has remained true to his nickname. and the firm measured tread of Trusty's feet may yet make real foot- prints on the sands of time. .I H, ,,,' .

He has been dwelling in these parts ever since. He came to Erskine from the Due VVest Graded School in the fall of 1912 and has been with the Class of '16 through all its thicks and thins. He has borne his part of all the honors and defeats. His Work as a student has been above the average for he has stood along toward the top of the class during the four years of his course. He has been an earnest Worker in the Y. lll. C. A. He has served his society Well both as a member and as President. The Glee Club claimed him as one of its members because of his musical ability. Although few of the college honors have fallen to him still he is always ready to help the man who has the honors. As Associate Editor of the ERSKINIANA he has rendered good service. There is one thing that we can not understand about him and that is his unusual popularity with the fair sex. He has tried his luck several times at the YVoman's College and has made a fair degree of success out of each at- tempt. lt must be his fat cheeks and brown eyes that cause the ladies to love him so.

Three states of the fair old Southland claim a prominent part in the life and history of Dad. Born at Newells, N. C., hlay 25, 1892, he resided there until Fifteen years of age. Deciding that the life of a Tarheel was not one long, sweet dream of pleasurefl he moved to his present home at Prosperity in the year 1907. He began his early search for knowledge in the schools of Newells and Prosperity. VVhen he had become somewhat proficient in the studies of the Grammar School Cno Chemistry is taught therel he went for a year to Berry School at Rome, Georgia. A diploma from this place landed him safe- ly in Erskine as a member of the Class of 1916. During the four years that Dad has been with us, he has held the love and respect of the entire student body. Noted for his pep he is always present at every game on the athletic held, and has pulled more than one game out of the jaws of defeat by his yells, Put more on lem, big boyfl Dad is as independent as the days are long, and this very fact has drawn him closer to the hearts of those with whom he has come in daily contact. One of the best debaters in college, the Philoma- thean Society, by his graduation, will lose a man whose place it will be hard to hll.

To refresh the memory of past friends, and to direct the anticipations of future acquaintances, is contributed this brief synopsis of the four-year col- lege career of William David Dickey, born June 30, 1894, to Mr. and hlrs. W. E. Dickey, of Edgrnoor, S. C. The child of 'LDickey's'l tendencies in Edgmoor became the father of his con- duct in Erskine. His knowledge of the value of friendship, his interest in the various forms of athletic activities, and his marked literary attainments contrib- ute to :nake Dickey a good specimen of college manhood. Dickey played class football and baseball and was among the four best tennis players in college. But how could you expect him to be a veritable all-round athlete, when he must give his time to things of higher concern? His business and literary duties required his attention. The former were displayed as Vice-President of the College Prohibi- tion Club and Assistant Business Klan- ager of the ERSKINIANA. Dickey,' won the medals in the Euphemian Literary Society for the best Freshman De- claimer and the best Junior Orator, and represented the society on all four of her Semi-Annual Celebrations-declainv ing the first two years, and winning the debate in lIis Junior and Senior years. He was one of the two Euphemians who won the Darlington Debating Trophy in IQI5. He was one of the two wl1o rep- resented Erskine against Davidson in the debate at Rock Hill in IQI6. He was voted the best orator in college and is one of the leading participants in the S. C. l. O. A. contest. Remember and strive for what affects you most.

XVillie, the son of lVIr. and Mrs. VV. A. Greer, received his preparatory train- ing in the Shopton High School at Shopton, N. C. In the fall of lQI2 he joined the class of '16, being the last of five brothers who have enlisted on the college roll. The class would have been incomplete if Bill had not entered at this time for in our four years associa- tion with him we have found him to be one who has stood by the class with that which we call real pep. As soon as opportunity was offered he joined the Philomathean Society, and has been a loyal and faithful member. She has bestowed her honors on him from the positions as lVIonitor to that of Presi- dent. Willie won the Sophomore Es- sayist lyfedal, and you will find at another place that he is distinguished as being the best writer in college. As a result of his skill with the pen he was elected as a member of the ERSKINIANA staff, and was also elected as Editor-in- Chief of the Erxkinizzfz. He has been a valuable man to the Y. lVI. C. A. He served as a member of the cabinet for two terms, and his high ideals and moral courage which is in keeping with his character was that which rendered him helpful to the association. He never fell a victim to the fairer sex until his junior year, when as a result of the junior-Senior Banquet Cupid's charm made itself felt, and after the above date he was seen lugging from the post-office so many letters which had written on the back, postage due, jc. that we just had to name him Sport, IlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllIIlilllllilllllllIIllH1lIIlllllllIllllllllIIIlllllIIlllllllIIlIllllllIlllllllIIlilllllilllllllllllllllliillllllillll F R S lx I N I A N A NTINETEEN-SIXTEEN 1 wi- ww, iii'-.ww,,.,,uw.iwwiwiiiiiiiiiiiiivimi111,1i-wwiwwviiiiiir BOYCE MCLAUGHLIN GRIER Su1zbeam Philomathean Smiles, ll7'lXFZfiSllI1FSS and good nature Jllalce his life ll song of joy. The sun must have been obscured by dark and overhanging clouds on the morning of August 9, 1894. On that day a new light appeared in the home of hir. and Mrs. 0.

Beginning his search for knowledge in the schools of lXfIint Hill Sun continued his progress through the fields of learning in Christls School at Arden, N. C. From this place he received the diploma which landed him safely in Erskine without the terrors of an entrance examination. The only word that describes his career here in all phases of college life is success His smiling face and unbounded good na- ture has brought him the merited popu- larity of both faculty and students. As a loyal member of the Philoma- thean Society Sun has been most faithful in upholding the Star, the lofty emblem of his society. His honors prove his faithfulness.

David Ross Kennedy was born Sept. 17, 1895, to lVlr. and lXfIrs. A. S. Ken- nedy, of Due West, S. C. Graduating from the D. W. H. S. with honors, he chose Erskine for his future Alma Mater. The catalogue of honors below are evidence enough of his ability, influence, popularity, and sincere intentions. In his Freshman year he won the Mower Medal, offered to the best orator in college. His literary genius is shown in that he has held almost every office in his society, serving faithfully as Secretary and Treasurer, Vice-President and President. In his Junior year he was elected As- sistant Marshal, and in his Senior year Chief Marshal for the celebration. He is the most promising representative in the S. C. I. O. A. contest and is taking an active interest in the I. P. A. contest. His wit and humor were made manifest at the Junior-Senior banquet, as Toast- master. 'fBuck has always shown a great in- terest in athletics, and was elected Presi- dent of the Athletic Association for IQI6. Buck has not been a regular on the baseball team, but he has been a faithful scrub and if he strikes out four times, out of three times up you can know that the wind is against him. But when it comes to tennis Buck is hard to beat. He was elected the second best player in college, and was one of Erskine's representatives this year, and in the end they were found in the finals. Endowed with all the qualities of a good student, we predict for him a great success in future life. ll lllllllll ll ll lllll lllll l I Ill ll l lllllllllllllllll l llll l I lll l ll llllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllIIllllllllIIlllllll!IIllllllll'llllllllilllllllllllllllllllllll!IIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliilllllllllllllllillilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllillllllllllllllIllllllll!IIllll1llillllllllillllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllIlilllllllIIlllllIlllllllliilllllllllll E R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-SIXTEEN iiwwuiiiiiiuniiiiiwuimimuiimiiwiiiiiiiiimn.iimumiiiimiiiiiiiimimiimnmiiiiiiiwiiiimiiiin C HARLES LEE MCCAIN KilI0z1gh Euphemian Litre high, and vonrider' yourself rafmhle of great things. The classic little town of Due West lays claim to the production of this illustrious son of Erskine. Born on lVIarch 20th, 1896, Killough has spent the Whole of his pilgrimage of one score years within the walls of this historic college town, graduating from the Due West High School in the year IQI2. Coming from a family of literary rep- utation, Killough has Worthily up- held the reputation. He has had little affinity for the Hcampus course, but has put his mind and energies into the more solid things. As the position of Chief lVIarshal at commencement is awarded to the member of the Junior Class having the highest average, Charles was of course the recipient of this honor in his Junior year. In his Sophomore year he won the medal offered by the Erskin- ian for the best short story, and in his Senior year was a member both of the Erslcinian and annual staff. He is a staunch Euphemian, and has served as her Vice-President one term. Charles has also been active in Y. lXI. C. A. work, having been on the cabinet two years, being Vice-President in his Junior Year. ln his Sophomore year he was a delegate to the volunteer conven- tion in Kansas City. VVhile Killough will be missed in many of the phases of college life there willibe no crepe seen on Forbidden to lament his departure, for he has shunned her snares, and soirees have been to him only hearsays. Popular among the students for his cheerful and manly disposition, he is an honor to the class, and will make his mark in life. ll 1 iuuoru ui i ui iii mm lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ii ii i ii i iii nu i u iii W WVU ll llllllllllllllllllllll ., ,,,,, . . , ,, ,.,, ,W ,W .qw ,,,H,,! .

RUDOLPH BURROW MCCORMICK lfgettyll Philomathean C'riticise me if you will, I am what I am. Une of the twins born at Arlington, Tenn., August 18, 1894, happened to be Betty. His parents early realized that he had in him the elements of great- ness and so they educated him in the schools of his home town. Receiving his diploma from the High School of that place he entered Erskine with the pres- ent Senior Class. Since coming here Betty has led the typical happy-go- lucky life of the college student, making a lasting friend out of every one with whom he comes in contact. Unlike many, he succeeds in every line of en- deavor. Always being willing to do his part, he has made himself one of the most popular men in college. Above everything he has 'fthe old Erskine spirit. As a baseball player he is the terror of all the colleges of the state. In the Philomathean Society he is one of the most loyal members the society has on her roll. When Betty leaves Er- skine a man will be missed who has been of inestimable value to the student body. He is five feet seven inches of manhood. His all-round ability has given him many college honors. He won the Freshmna Declaimer's lNIedal in the Philomathean Society, represented his society as Secretary, Vice-President, lVIarshal in two Celebrations, Senior Oratorg President Class ,15-'16, Erskin- ian Staff, Basket-Ball Team '15, Foot- ball Team ,I5, Baseball Team '14 and ilj.

He has been a consistent worker in the class room and is considered a snake in for- eign languages. He has always been an enthusiastic worker for the Y. M. C.

Moving to Rock Hill in the fall of 1908 and after receiving a diploma from the graded school of this town, he entered Erskine in the fall of 1912. It has been a pleasure for us all to know HBoot. His ability has won for him many im- portant honors while in college. Boot is progressive, there is no phase of col- lege life in which he is not interestedg though he has never represented his col- lege in any phase of athletics his heart is always with the teams. In the busi- ness and social circles of college life he is a wonder. His ability to mix with strangers won for him the honor of being elected our first class President in the fall of 1912. Boot is loyal to his so- ciety as manifested by the number of Olli- ces he has held: Secretary, Vice-Presi- dent, and Treasurer. He also repre- sented his society as lllarshal in three Celebrations. His business ability has always been recognized. He was voted the best business man in college in '15- ,16.

Soon, however, the mother duck carried her brood to Little Rock, Arkansas, and it is from this mud puddle that the Ugly Duckling hail- ed when he lit in the bulrushes of Due West. He entered the Sophomore Class of Erskine in 1914 and since that time honors have fallen to his share like feathers falling from a wounded bird. Paul joined the Philomathean Society and was one of the debaters in the Semi- Annual of that society in his Senior year. In athletics Paul has been especially prominent. He played as a guard on the class football team for two years and made a grand center for the first var- sity football team that represented Er- skine. He has played center on the basket-ball team for two years and in his Senior year served as captain. Nlore- over this year he has thrown more goals than any other man and will be greatly missed next year. He has served as a member of the Y. lll. C. A. cabinet and was one of the readers in the Glee Club. When the class needed a sooth- sayer they elected Paul to fill this posi- tion. Paul is somewhat of a bear with the ladies and has had more ladies at one time and all through his college course than any other man in the class. Paul is a. Hail fellow, well met and you can never enter his room without finding at least half a score of friends there. But some how he manages to get up his lessons in the wee sina' hours of the night and is somewhat of 21 shark in the line of physics, chemistry, and geology.

York County claims the birth, on Oc- tober 14, 1894, of this wonderful piece of humanity, and well may she be proud for Silent is an all-round good fellow. After graduating from the High School at Edgmoor, he entered Erskine with the rest of us and soon began to make a name for himself in college circles. He is quiet and unassuming, blushing even to the roots of his short blonde hair, when answering a question on class, but somehow or other he always manages to answer the question, graduating with honor at commencement. We elected him Class President in our Sophomore year, early showing our regard for him. Then he was Editor-in-Chief of our Junior Erslcinian and he has nobly served us this year as Business Manager of our Annual. He is also Treasurer of the Student Body. Then his society has also given him many merited honors, electing him President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and President and Chief lvfarshal at the Semi-Annual Cele- brations. He has been a good worker and has served Euphemia well. f'Pete has tried to play baseball. But he never could hit and has had to con- tent himself as substitute for two years. He never gave up and his tireless pep', has added much enthusiasm to the teams when they were discouraged. Now, Silent has never been a sport. He always has two or three girls, but he doesn't waste his time over them and Forbidden has never been a popular place with him. He always has time, how- ever, for a good, long walk with any of his friends and is always ready to match for something to eat. He is just an all- round Good fellow, and a real college boy.

The home of lllr. and hlrs. R. NI. Plaxco was gladdened by the birth of their first son on the night of lVIarch 3ISf, 1894. The scene of this happy oc- currence' was laid in one of the most prosperous regions in the State of South Carolina, just about eight miles from the city of York on the National Highway. After several enjoyable and profitable years of preparation at Bethany High School it was decided by those in power that the best place in the State for the continued and more advanced prepara- tion for life was Erskine College. Dur- ing his Freshman year he pledged his loyal support to the Euphemian Society and has always been a valuable member. He served his society in the capacity of Secretary in his Sophomore year and Vice-President his Junior year. For three years he was a member of the varsity in basket-ball and was voted the best player in college. In his Junior year he held the oliices of Captain and llflanager and was Klanager again in his Senior year. hlany were the nights that his deep bass voice in harmonious com- binations with others cheered the hearts of the VVylie Home and YV. C. girls. ln appreciation of his ability in both musical and buiness lines he was elected mana! ger of the Glee Club and made a great success of a seemingly hopeless taslc. So in him we find one of the best-liked fel- lows in college, for his fun and good nature has made utany an hour pass quickly, while he has also helped many :1 fellow with his sound, good advice. l l lllllll llIIllllllIIIIIlIIllllIIIIlllll!IIIIIIIIllIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllillilllllililllllllllllllllllllllWlllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllillillll iii if llilllilllllllllllli ,iw 1 ..

Another of Laurens County's sons Who was afterwards to bring fame to his birthplace, was born in the home of Mr. and lVlrs. G. F. Wolff, at Barks- dale, on October 23, 1894. The child grew in stature and Wisdom and after re- ceiving his primary education in the public schools of his county, entered Shiloh High School from which place he received his diploma in 1911. After spending part of the succeeding year in the College of Charleston he decided that there was no place like dear old Erskine. In the fall of 1912 he enlisted under the banner of maroon and old gold with the present Senior Class. From the out- set Bill has been one of the most popu- lar men in the class and in the student body. He joined the Euphemian Society his Freshman year and has since been of great value to his society in all phases of her work.

We showed plenty of life and vigor even in our Freshman year, but we soon found that we were the smallest pebbles on the beach. T. R. Miller was our Class President for ,I2-,I3. Again in the autumn of 1913 we were back among our college friends. Murphy was elected Class President, while we all were on the Freshman Advisory Committee. VVe were somewhat elated over this our second year in college circles, for we had broken out of serfdom in the Freshman Class, and made our way into the bounds of Sophdom. But the deeds of our Sophomore year are recorded in the Erslciuiafza of 1914. At the beginning of our Junior year we-but a smaller we-were back on the scenes of our former conflicts. We elected W. W. Wolff President of our Class, and as the brass and loudness of our Sophomore days had worn away, we endeavored to take our work more seriously, altho it need not be supposed that we devoted all of our time to thought and study. But our Junior days have also been reviewed in the last Erslciniana, so we pass on to the fall of 1915, when we came back to make our last stand with the cohorts of knowledge. In this our Senior year we elected R. B. Klc- Cormick as President, and whether thru his inHuence or not we shortly adopted the Honor System. As we look back over the four years of our college sojourn, we find that the Class of 1916 has taken a very active part in the different phases of college activity. In the literary societies, in the Y. Nl. C. in the class room, on the athletic field, and in many minor undertakings, the banner of l16 has always been in evidence. We have some time had great barriers before us, but we were a sticking class and by persistent work we managed to overcome them. VVe scarcely need to mention the athletic standard upheld by our Class during the four years of our college course for every one is familiar with the work of VVolff and Beard on the diamond, Grier and hliller P. YV. on the gridiron, and Miller P. W., Bell and Plaxco on the basket-ball court. We are soon to take up life out in the world of affairs. Yve realize that some times we have not improved our opportunities as we should have. but we are grateful to our Alma Nlater for the lasting service which she has rendered us in fitting us for life. And may we not prove untrue and unfaithful to her and to her training, after the sound of the chapel bell has ceased to ring in our ears. l llllll I ll lllll nuIinmulImmmuiiiiiiii1iiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin1iimmIuiniiiiiImumsIiiimuiusimiuuiimiiinumi1inimmnuumiIuImiI1niiiuiIInmmInIniinIInmmIiiiiiiiuimmInimu1niiiisii11nmul1uliiiiu1mmuiIiiininiuimi1iiniiiiii1inimiuiniinuiiiiin1nu1imuIniiiiiInmmunuiuniiiuluii' E R S K I N I A N A N1NE'rEEN-SIXTEEN nnmuuimunmimunuumuiuuiiiimwvuv i1iwiminiimmmiiummiiiimimiiiwiimmwiwi miiimiii mm mmmmmiiin,nii1inii,mmiiim-uniimmuiiiimnmimmuwimuminiimmiiiii1ummnunuunnun Gilman lgrnphvrg las- ' 'If S Charles hlurphy was strolling up and down the shaded walk y 'Kiel around the San Francisco Areo Terminus a look of happiness Il:!1 Qxj , E and satisfaction suffused his face. And no wonder, for who would not be content in his position? His Dirigiplane, The National Eagle had just flown on her maiden trip, Australia bound. And on top of this he had just received the word that another areo ship of his, The Obie, having left China less than three days ago, was now not far distant and would arrive in a few minutes. So he took his seat where he could obtain a favorable view of the arrival of the ship and watched the passengers as they would descend the long stair. A few moments later he was scanning the faces of those that were arriving. Among the numerous faces there was one which struck him as familiar and after a second thought Charles recognized Rudolph lVIcCormick, an old school mate of his. He hurried to meet him and after a very warm greeting they hastened away. That night if you had been seated near one of the corner tables in the spacious dinning room of the Golden Gate Hotel, you would probably have heard the following conversation: Well, Betty, Qld Man, what have you been doing with yourself the last twenty-five years? At least it seems that long since I have seen you. Pete, I have been having some time. You remember after I finished Johns Hopkins, I was given charge of the Belleview Hospital in Los Angeles. Well, I stayed there a while, but was offered the position as head of the health department of the Republic of China. Of course I accepted and would be there yet, but I wanted to come back home and as I was offered a vacancy in Leland Stanford, I thought I would return and accept. However, enough of that. I want you to tell me everything that you know. How is the old class of 'I6? That's right, you were not present at the big banquet lVIr. and Mrs. Dickey gave to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of our graduation, were you? You sure did miss it, old man. You know that Dickey is one of the judges on the Supreme Court now. I tell you he was some lawyer and he sure did make good. When I received my invitation I accepted it immediately and as my vacation was already on I hiked out. There were fourteen of us there. Yourself, lVIiss Brooks, D. A. lNIiller and Bill VVolff were those not present. What was the matter that Bill couldn't come ? Bill was manager of the New York Giants this year and they were scheduled to play the Chicago Cubs the day of the banquet.

D. A. had been elected a delegate from the Presbyterian Synod to the International Missionary Convention and would be in Paris at that time. We could not hear from Miss Brooks. She had married a few years after graduating an Atlanta millionaire, who afterwards moved out West. I suppose that she did not receive her invitation. How- ever, the rest of us were there and enjoyed ourselves to the utmost. Buck Kennedy was again toast master of the occasion. Buck you know, made a big haul in real estate in South America, and is resting easy now. He always was a lucky fellow and has kale to burn. Old Sunbeam Grier led the cotillion that night. He has sure blazed his way into prominence. He was first elected Congressman from North Carolina and then Senator. He is just about party boss now. Specks Plaxco was looking just about as dignified as a judge and in fact he is one. He was elected solicitor from his county recently, and he is one of the most progressive men in the state. Say, what became of Killer McCain? 'AKiller? Why that old boy is the thing on the literary world now. His last book went like wild Hre. He certainly amused us all by his interesting stories that night. And just while we are speaking about things let me tell you about Bell. You remember how we used to rag him about his drawing? Well, his collection was awarded the grand prize at the world's art exhibition at Berlin last winter. One of his pictures knocked down S5o,ooo cold. Going some, isn't it Old Man? Roderick Beard. our old second baseman is president of the Beard National in Chicago. He started out with his father in the little home town but that soon got too small for him, so up he went and he is on top now. W. C. Sport Grier, his old roommate, invented the method of intensive farming which is being so extensively used all over the country. He, himself, owns half a dozen farms in the South now. He invited all of us to visit him next summer and. believe me, we all accepted. Say, tell me quick what old Bubber is doing. Doing? Why, Betty, he is the most famous composer of the age. He made old Wagner look like a counterfeit. At his last grand opera in New York, you had to get reserved seats a month in advance. He has played before all the royalty of Europe, and Bish Bonner. his big college pal, has certainly equalled him. You know Bish always had a way of getting along. Well, he started out in diplomatic work and is now the famous embassador to England. He has placed the relations of the two countries on a better basis than has ever been known before.

Dormitory. From all quarters of the country they came, eager for new conquests in the new arena of college life. Having been duly examined by those of the higher classes they were next catechized by each member of the faculty. After this ordeal as many as were pronounced competent entered upon the life of full-fledged Freshmen. A goodly number having had experience in their own schools and being desirous of new laurels of literary fame at once joined the societies. Those who joined the first year numbered some twenty-five. Each society has been glad of the acquisition and those who joined have had no reason to regret doing so. The mid-term examinations took their toll as is their wont and some discouraged at the painful experience gave up the task. A few deciding that the world offered finer opportunities to their talents than the Halls abandoned us for the various professions, Still there remained a con- siderable number after the June finals. We came back as Sophomores more eager than ever to climb to the heights of scholastic excellence. For the long road to a diploma and freedom had been diminished by the length of one milestone. Tn the various branches of athletics we took an eager interest and many names on the several teams were by those who are now Juniors. YVhile not win- ning the championship in either our Freshman or Sophomore years we made a creditable showing in every contest. VVhen we returned as Juniors in the fall of IQI5 we found that the Co-eds had deserted us almost in a body. However, we bore up bravely under the calamity and consoled ourselves with a more extensive applica- tion to our books. This fall lnter-collegiate Football was given by the order of Synod to Erskine, while we were not represented on the team. we gave it our unqualified support. And now in the middle of the session may we but hope for a continuance of the good fortune that has so far attended our efforts and seek even a greater share in the activities of college life? lVlay we not catch something of the meaning of four precious years spent in the preparation for greater duties than those of the class room and society hall?

And a round, whole class it was that endured the measures meted by the ever gay Sophomores. g ' Altho we were as green as the usual Freshman, the many sharp lessons and keen experiences have been able to mow a great deal of the verdant grass for us. The class as a whole made a good record in their intellectual pur- suits and other college interests. The athletic held claimed a large number of Freshmen for her Varsity. But with all the happy events of our first college year, still we were glad to matriculate at the opening session of 1915 as Sophomores and pledged that we would live up to the Soph. record in taming the new students. Last year we were fortunate enough to gather the facts concerning our class from a page in a Professor's diary, but this same Professor has grown wiser and now carries the important little book in a securely but- toned pocket by day and sleeps with it under his pillow by night tif he has onej. So the only information concerning our class that could be gathered from bravely stated resources, came thru a keyhole in the form of a discussion by the faculty. From it we found that We were holding our own pretty well except in number, which had decreased from thirty-eight of last year to twenty-six. New additions from our class have been made to the athletic field. Also it was discovered in organizing a glee club here, that there were a few vocalists among our number. Sophomores do not generally prize their inheritance from the Fresh- man year very highly. However, there was one institution we were glad to carry with us. When a committee of the College Board met this year for the purpose of organizing the Honor System, it pointed to our class as the only one now in the college that had voluntarily adopted the Honor System. A Sophomore history is not usually regarded as complete until about four-thirds of it has been used to discuss the depredations of the Big Sophsf' but to prove that We have not adhered to the destructive policy, l will state that the old garden fence which has been a temptation and trial to all preceding classes still stands on the end of the campus unharmcd. lllS'l'ORI.XN, CIHXSS 'i8.

C. Although the farewells to their parents were somewhat tearful on both sides, it was bravely passed: at least for the present, but when we arrived in Donalds and changed from the train to the Due Vvest Limited tin many respectsl, the gloom began to deepen and had there been a weather forecaster aboard undoubtedly he would have predicted Early Showers. Conditions were not much im- proved by the joyous cries of Lie low Fresh from the ardent Sophomores. But soon we arrived at Due VVest, Where the old men took us in charge and have proceeded to keep us so henceforth. As there was not much college work to be done the first Week beyond the classifying, it Was devoted to the entertainment of the Freshmen and right royally was it done Cin the opinion of somel. Notable among the entertainments was one at the D. W. VV. C. and one given by the Y. ll. C. A. Both were enjoyed very much. But now all this has passed along with the dread of the Hrst weeks of college life and we are now full-Hedged Freshmen. having learned the art of wicket making and become accomplished loafers of Forbidden, VVe have accepted the Honor System. VVe have met the terror of exam- inations and have passed successfully. Also our class has shown up well in athletics, we having several varsity men in football, and there is plenty of promising material for the baseball team. The honor of the classcis being upheld at the soirees also. and according to the YVoman's College, the most handsome boy in Erskine is a Freshman. And taking it all in all the Freshman Class of IQI5-'16 gives promise of becoming one of the best classes that has ever entered Frskine College.

So in 1853 it K T was decided to raise an endowment of flSIO0,000 by the plan of selling scholarships. The scheme was vigorously prosecuted. ln the catalogue of I86O we find the following statements respecting the en- dowment: The times were unpropitious in T53 and T54. Nloney was scarce and the crops were not abundant. But by making liberal offers in the way of tuition, more than 550,000 was raised toward the endowment of the college. This in connection with funds previously received from Capt. Blair and others: and more recently from Christopher Strong, Esq., of Tennessee, and Col. William Wright of Yorkville, makes an endowment of about El570,oo0. The next year the civil war broke out in devastating fury and all the endowment just accumulated, save about d5I5,000, was swept away. A second attempt to raise an endowment of 33100,000 was made in 1873. The same plan was adopted as before, the sale of scholarships. But some friends gave liberally apart from the plan. lNIrs. Ann YVallace donated about El315,000. Dr. Hearst left a bequest of ii5II,OOO. Later, Robert N. Hemphill and Joseph VVylie were liberal contributors to the funds of the college. The second effort resulted in putting the endowment to approximately 380,000 For some years there has been a growing conviction that a larger endowment was essential in order that the college might do its best work. At the meeting of Synod held in Due VVest in 1915, this conviction found expression in definite action to begin at once the raising of l'FIO0,000 additional. In the light of former experience it did not seem wise to the committee in charge to adopt the old scholarship plans. The idea of the committee was and is, to furnish a plan whereby every one may have the opportunity to aid the college to the extent of his or her ability. Cash will be solicited from those able to contribute in this way and who prefer to do so. Those whose income will not permit large cash payments at one time may give notes payable in one, two, three, four, and live years. Those who prefer to pay in smaller amounts may take stock in a Building and Loan Association and assign same to the college.

The funds derived from this source will not go directly to the endowment funds. By this same scheme we hope to have something to please everybody. The Associated Reformed Church has always stood by the college. lVith less than 4,000 members it placed an endowment of 370,000 upon the college. With 5,500, and these impoverished by war, it raised near 380,000 for Erskine College. With 15,000 members to say nothing of many loyal Alumni prominent and well to do, and with prosperous times, may we not expect the church to surpass all previous records in its efforts in behalf of the college? And who believes we will be disappointed? . m N V 6 I I V is Q V Y ,, , - , .H i gn-F--, xy +ve, I - fe-1iM4.-9... dx .944 0 L-. .U .lr .394 1- 0 iff.-m' -9,...-img!

The big, white columed house on North Tryon looked very beautiful with the first roses, and spring flowers. In the early afternoon Lois loitered slowly up the walk, stopped near the steps, and softly lifted the thick violet leaves aside with the toe of her shoe, stooped to smell a tube- rose, and finally cast a dreamy look far down Left Avenue. She guessed from the vari-colored sunshades in the umbrella stand that her mother must be entertaining, so she entered around ,at the side door. Her books were laid aside and she approached the bed on which lay in fluffy folds something white. Her dreamy look disappeared and her dark eyes danced in glee as she unfolded her graduation dress. For a moment she gathered it up in her arms, fondly embracing it, and the next moment was slipping it on over everything. She approached the stately mirror-and what a wonderful picture! The dainty lace frills brought out all the pretty ex- pressions of her pink dimpled face, and the lines of her girlish figure. She thought of that moment when she would stand forth in her loveliness to receive her diploma, only a few hours distant. just then the dreamy re- Hection shadowed her face again and she spoke in audible tones, I must see why Hilda was not in school to-day. In a few minutes she had gone several blocks away down Left Avenue, and stood tapping at the door of an old brown house. Hilda greeted her, and they found a seat under the rose arbor by the garden. Oh, why were you not in school to-day, Hilda? We missed you so much, and your seat was the only one vacant at the rehearsal. And this the last day. Hilda tried very hard to be cheerful, and replied, Father was not very well to-day, so I stayed with him. Well, you are coming early to-night, aren't you? VVe are going to plan lots of things, and I'll tell you about them later. But listen, you should see my dress. It is simply a dream and just arrived before I left home. What kind is yours T' At the mention of the dress Hilda's big blue eyes filled with tears and her heart was almost breaking. She slipped her tiny white hand into the warm brown fingers of her companion and remained silent. Why, my dear, I hope you are not disappointed in yours. I know it must be beautiful, were the earnest words of Lois. Sobs came with the tears now, and she said, No, no, it is not beau- tiful: it is not at all. I haven't one.

I knew I couldn't go to-night and it would have broken my heart to have been there to-day. Lois found a tear in her own eye, and tried in every way to comfort her classmate. You can wear the little white dress you had last sum- mer, and it will be perfectly all right. Oh, no, Mother and I made baby Ben a little dress out of it long ago. He needed it so badly. But Hilda, you are coming if you have the dress you have on now. Do you not know you are the honor graduate P I can't disgrace my class by going without a decent dress, cried Hilda. For a while neither spoke. Lois listened to the throbbing heart that seemed beyond all human power to soothe and wondered what could be done. At last a thought came. She hastily arose, and said, Hilda, dear, do not cry any more, for I have an excellent plan. A dress will be here for you at six. That will be early enough, and then I will come by for you. At this she kissed Hilda's soft brown curls, and was away. This time Lois ran quickly up the walk to the white mansion. Once in her room, she began heaping all accessible chairs with articles from her trunk. At last she held up a little plain white organdie dress which she had never cared to wear. It will do, she said. She laid it aside and left the room, soon returning with the dainty frills of lace on her arm. She will be a perfectly real angel in this with the little slippers, whispered Lois as she placed them in a box. Then in the kitchen she gave Jenkins orders to take the package to Hilda down to the brown house. At dinner, soon after the package was sent, Lois seemed very happy. Mrs. Rowe then spoke, Does my little girl like her dress ? Oh, yes, mother, it is a dream of loveliness. I took it to my room some time ago. Run and bring it so your father can see it.', Then Lois grew still, and a tear almost came in her eye. Why you are not crying are you, little girl? spoke her father. I thought you wanted to graduate. She then told the story of why the dress had gone away, and begged them to allow Hilda to wear it. Dr. Rowe spoke rather harshly at Hrst. Lois, you should let her buy her own dresses. It was her father who was arrested for being drunk yesterday, and I suppose he spent his money to keep from being placed in jail. You should have consulted your mother. I don't like for you to go with her anyway, for she doesn't belong in your class. 35.1 H, l --, IlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllillllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllililllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliillllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllilllIIIIllIllllIIlIlllllillllllllllllllllllllll!IIIIIllllIIllllllllllllllllilllllll E R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-SIXTEIQN .iv-iwi,imiiiiiiii.i,www wiiiiuuiiiiiiiiwi.,iiinmilimiiiiiiwwiiiin .iwiiiiw win ii ma, iw ,niiiiiiiiwiiiiiw.,-'ii ii:i,i,iiiiii.,,iiw i, will-ii iw: ,aim .w ,i,, ,win But listen Papa, she pleaded, She is even better than I am, even if her father is bad., She led our class in scholarship and is such a good girl. Now, just think of her taking the only white dress she had to makeisome- thing for her little brother Ben to wear. Why I would not be one bit happy tonight if Hilda could not be there, too. IVIrs. Rowe was too much shocked at this strange proceeding to say much, and Dr. Rowe reflected for a while as Lois quietly cried. The doctor very likely thought of the bitterness of some of the homes where his early practice had called him. Speaking at last, Well, my dear little girl, your heart is bigger and more tender than any other girl's in this city, and it's all right. You shall wear what you like, and we shall all go by for Hilda. True love is not getting but giving, anywayf, A short time later they called at the door of the Harris home, where Hilda greeted them soberly. Father says I can't wear your dress, Lois. He says it was not bought for me, and I might just stay at home anyway. Lois looked up painfully into her father's eyes, and he read the meaning. Then they all entered a room where they were not bidden. The doctor spoke kindly, lVIr. Harris, will you not go with us to see these little girls of ours get their diplomas ? lVIr. Harris was scarcely noticing the speech, but carefully noted the affectionate and intimate attachment that seemed to exist between the two girls. He then spoke in broken tones: This kind-heartedness of your daughter has rent my heart in twain. Dr. Rowe, no punishment could be more severe than the bitter remorse for my wrongs. Yes, I shall go with you to-night, and to-morrow shall bring a new day for me. That evening as the president read the roll of honor, at the head of the great semi-circle of seventy-two boys and girls there stood first the girl whose soft brown curls mingled with the lace frills, and beside her stood a dark-haired girl in a plain white organdie. In the audience sat two men with their heads turned in the same direction. The one whispered to the other, your daughter has taught me to see the best in life, and the voice of the other returned as an echo. And as the wonderful beauty, not seen before, radiated from the faces of the girls that night, the hearts of the men beat in unison. -M.

Hood, and the greater part is in his exart fwordsj if-gy the late 70,8 or early 8o's, Rev. John Griffin, a prominent missionary in upper Egypt, wrote Erskine College that he was shipping it a mummy, and for the college to be prepared to receive it on its arrival. ln due time the college was notified that there was a box addressed to it. The box was like those we see bearing a corpse to the cemetery for burial. The mummy was a young woman of about twenty years of age. Her birth must have been about the time of the birth of the famous Cleopatra, a few score years before the birth of Christ, during the time of the Roman domination over Egypt. Her name was Iset Kheb, the daughter of the priest of On. Before the wrapping began, the head, thorax, and abdomen were opened, and all the viscera carefully removed. Not only was there left in the mummy nothing to decay, but with the removal of the viscera curiosity, that passion of mankind that would see all new things, tho the wish to see might destroy, had no field left for its explorations. This was the headstrong passion that was believed to have ultimately caused the destruction of the mummy by fire. It need scarcely be said that the Egyptian embalmer wrapped the cerecloth firmly around the finger and toe, each arm and leg, and then with wider strips of cerecloth, beginning at the feet, he progressed upwards to the head, filling in around the neck and chin so that, altho the neck was thick, there were no wrinkles in the cerecloth. Therefore she was a solid whole, and no water and little air could get in to the dry flesh. lf she had been stood upright she would not have bent. The mask that covered her head had her own likeness painted on it. and she was a very beautiful young lady. Many things were painted on the cerecloth. They were well preserved, for the colors were as fresh and handsome as when the painter completed his work. Among the figures on the cerecloth, the great all-seeing eye of Osiris was prominent. This Egyptian deity had the power of being a bull, an apis, or a man. which ever suited the moment best. Next to Osiris, the Scarabee, or sacred beetle, the emblem of immortality, was most conspicuous. There were also two small serpents painted on the lower parts of the mummy in brownish colors. These were probably to suggest another object of Egyptian worship.

Here was Iset Kheb located. She was the greatest gift the college had ever received. The door of her box and the door of her room were locked: and the custodianship conferred upon Prof. Wm. Hood. He prepared himself with all the information on mummies, embalming, and painting on the cerecloth he could find, and felt ready to let visitors call on her. At first it required about all the time he could spare to fix days and hours for visitors to call. He had to remain in the room with her, answer ques- tions, and show such courtesies as guests might require. It was soon ap- parent among the students of the college that they must see below the bandages or not be satished. Curiosity was beginning to stir among some of them. To see if the wish might be safely gratified, the custodian wrote to the Smithsonian Institute whether it thought a small part of the ban- dages could be removed without injury. The reply was that if part of the cloth was taken off it would start disintegration. Besides, precautions must be taken to guard against disease germs. This would make it dangerous to try to uncover any part of her. Here that question stopped when it was announced that no part of her wrappings could be disturbed, and for several years the subject was dropped. During these quiet years the literature concerning the relic increased, and her home was a happy one. Miss Clark, of the W0mHI1,S College, contributed a poem whose subject was, Why did lVIiss Kheb die so young? A possible answer to that question was this: Miss Kheb was the daughter of a priest, and every year a young lady of the royal family, or of the line of priests was selected by lot as a sacrifice to the Nile for its generous overflow, and enrichment of the land. The lot on one time fell on Iset Kheb, and she was therefore the sacrificial victim for that year. Hence, her death so early in life. Poems like this were published and placed in the box along with the mummy, and thus her fame grew year by year. If her mummy life could have Hown smoothly during the thirty years since those first poems were written, how greatly her literature and fame might have grown by this time. But a change, be it sorrowfully spoken, cut short her possibilities, and with that change both the mummy and the college were destroyed by fire. Curiosity, that restless passion which, if indulged, will transform its possession into an evil and vicious monster that can regard nothing as too sacred to be destroyed, returned on a very small minority of the students, most likely only two, to see with their own eyes what was under l inIliilullImmllllmilluunmillllllllluuilillllluuiliillllummllllillillllllllnmmlllllliniilillumilmilnmlmlllmliiiluilimiiiiinliiiiii iniir..iiiiiiiiii:li,iiwil. l.l.l!lll,l i .i iii in i.iiini:1,i. . . ii N1NETEEN-S1X'1'14:14:N li R S K I N I A N A uimmmiiiiNunniiiimmmiiiimiimumiiin,umiiiiiiiiisiiiiiiw mimi iiiiiiwnvi i, ,i-ii V , , ii , , i the cerecloth that enwrapped the mummy. The room was frequently visited in the night, no lock or repairs to the broken door could prevent entry, or admonish against future violence. The lock of the glass door of the case was wrenched off, and it was evident that the mummy was being handled. The custodian finally notified the president of the college that if intruders could not be kept out of the room he would have to give up his efforts to care for the mummy. A night or two after this, at about eleven o'clock, the alarm of fire was raised. Erskine College was ablaze. The mummy room on the east wing, the belfry tower, and the roof of the upper room on the west wing were all consumed, and the fire still travel- ing from roof to roof of the third-story rooms, burning thru, the fire falling to the floor, and setting them on fire. No fire had been in the east wing that afternoon. The first man at the burning building could not enter the door on the ground floor because of burning falling timbers. The janitor often pushed waste paper under the belfry tower stair- way in front of the mummy room door until he had time to take it away. A blazing match thrown here by any chance could start a fire. VVhile the house was burning, with the yard full of helpless spectators, a gentleman whose veracity could not be questioned, said to the custodian of the mummy: I know two students who have not had their collars off to- nightfl Who are they? he asked. The gentleman replied, VVatch, l think they will show themselves. In less than a week two students from the distant West left Due West without saying good-bye to anybody. Nothing was left of Iset Kheb except some bones in the ashes on the ground under her room. -F. T.

Civilization woke one August morn to Hnd half the world bowing before the shrine of the god of war. Ever - since have the Nlars-worshippers grappled in their fury. Day after day the men in the trenches direct their thirsty guns on the enemy's arms. Day after day the flower of European manhood is being mown down by the weapons of man's blood-stained hands. Day after day the beings of God's own creation suffer untold agonies on the death-wrapped field of carnage. Day after day the widows and orphans of this heart-rending con- Hict undergo unspeakable shame and unmatched misery. Almost two years gone and still no cessation of strife-nay the bounds of the war are constantly extending until its deathly shock reaches to the end of the earth. The clash of death-dealing arms and the bellow of murderous cannon have resounded for such a time that some are beginning to ask if the World is going to fall back into the miry trenches of mediaeval militarism. Are we to arm ourselves to the teeth and then eagerly await an entrance into the world War? It is almost essential that our army be increased to insure our moral standard among the nations. We have heard the urgent call of Wilson for preparedness. Let us stand behind our President in his heroic efforts to preserve the nation's rights. Let us increase our army to 5oo,ooo or more if need be-whatever it takes to preserve the nation's honor. But let us also realize that mightier than military prestige, grander than floating navies are the powers of righteousness and truth-the powers that characterize the true American spirit-that spirit which has made America in the past, that spirit which protects America to-day and the only spirit which will preserve America in the future. Let us now look at these mighty forces upon which we are to depend to safeguard our nation and our civilization while the world writhes and Weeps under the woeful work of a wanton war. The safeguard which means most to us as a people is the American spirit. By it we mean that spirit which has been the guiding and dominat- ing principle in the growth of this Republic. The name America has always been a synonym for 'liberty and freedom. The hyphenated- Americans who come to our shores come here because they know they will be free, free from a military despotic rule, free from the exorbitant taxes of a military nation. ln our land of liberty every citizen has free and equal rights, and the rulers are merely the leaders of the people. The ideal of freedom is so strongly imbedded in the national consciousness, that 414.1 ,..., - -li- iuuiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiilimiwilliimimiiiamiimiiuiiimsaiiiiiimlmiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiImniuiiiiiiifiiiimililiiiiiliiiiiiiiilimiulmiiiiiiilniiiiiiiliiimuiiiiiimiamiimimiiiiuiiiiimimiimluiiiiiiluiiiiuunmii11IniiiiuimmuliiinuIliiiimInunuIimiIIllImuIInimuIllmllllmulllln E R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-S1xT15iaN iiwwwwwwwww 4wwi,,.w,w,i awww www ii- www, www www 1 www wiiiwwwiiiiiwwwiwiwizmmmiwiw.wiiwwiwiiiuiuimuIiiIi1Imuinwiwwwwwwwwwn the people are unwilling to be enslaved by a cruel militarism. America was founded by refugees from tyranny and oppression, and this spirit which was implanted on our shore by wandering Pilgrims and fleeing Huguenots is indeed an impregnable safeguard of our civilization. Kings and kaisers will ever fear to molest a people who hold freedom so sacred and so dear. But why? It is because battalions and trained army corps fall helpless before a regiment inspired with the ideal of freedom. Was such the case in our war with England, and was it not so with Cromwell and his lronsides? Love of cause and country wins battles, not merely trained soldiers. The American Spirit with its passionate love of liberty and its bound- less love for humanity is the capstone of three hundred years of building of the national conscience. Are We to tear down this building not made with hands and surround ourselves with forts and batteries as if these alone would protect a nation? We may be reminded that no nation is safe merely because of its military equipment. VVhy should we advocate that compulsory military service which is to-day the pride-yea, the curse of war-worn Germany, when with a moderate army and navy together with the American Spirit, we have for one hundred and fifty years, subdued the oppressor at the same time building up our vast Commonwealth. An army increases relative to the size and growth of our Republic is right and just, but God forbid that our country be entangled in the throes of a hell-hired militarism. Qur surest defense as a nation rests not in siege guns and dreadnaughts, but rather in the character of the nation itself. The fight for preparedness is in reality a clash between the American ideal of equal rights and the European ideal of Prussian militarism. Judging from the past, which of these two is the better safeguard for a nation and its civilization? The Prussian ideal, although dormant and peaceful for a time, has at length plunged all Europe into a momentous conflict. The American ideal has brought peace and happiness to millions and as long as we have a President who is true to his principles, our state will continue to be one of peace and contentment. Although our country has been engaged in a few conflicts, never yet has Old America been dis- honored or her proud Hag been trampled upon. Has it been thus on account of her armament? Nay, rather the guardian saint of our wave- washed shore is the great American Spirit, that devotion to the ideal of America. Another characteristic safeguard of our nation to-day is the spirit of Paternalism. By it We mean the spirit of protection for the weaker nations. It is essentially that big-brother feeling for those weaker than ourselves. VVC should all love the stars and stripes, but we should cease to put America 4 l iHIIIll1lllIllllfllllllflllllllllllHIIIIIIHlflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilfHlflllllllllfllllllllllllflfHIIIIIIIIlfflIllllllllllllllllllllilllllfflllllllllllllfllllllllllllllllllllfllllll1flllIIIIllIllflllllIllifffffllfllllllllfflffllllllllllfllffflflllllfllilflllllllllllllflllflllllliillffllfllllllllllllllfllllllillllllil1lllll'lIffll,f!1fi'lillflfil NINIQTIQIQN-S1x'1'ic12N E R S K I N I A N A iuzwii iii- 1 i if iWwfiiiiiiiiw.i-wifii,-- wi ui it wi 1 1 iii in' ' i 1 'i 'i 1 first for she is not first: humanity is first. ln the words of Dr. Jefferson, an eminent New York divine, The honor which we must guard with greatest zeal is not the honor of our country, but the honor of manf' Will not such a spirit as this ultimately safeguard our nation? Never will we need a tremendous sea power as long as we have a President who is true to the principles of brotherly love and good will. Qnly within the last few weeks has this spirit of paternalism been manifested in the new Pan- Americanism, as described by Secretary Lansing, in which protection is assured to the South American Republics, thus showing them that we are not after their possessions, but their friendship, and the surest safeguards of any nation lie in its friendships. Where in the annals of European History do we find a case parallel to that of our dealing with Cuba? This island was freed from the hand of the oppressor, the country was developed, and finally, the independent Cuban Republic was set up. When Belgium was devastated by the war-maddened Teutons, the cry of the starving Bel- giums went out to humanity. The American people with their characteristic generosity responded instantly to the appeal of the sufferers. Such acts of kindness represent the true heart of the American people. Such gifts of sympathy brand America as a friend to mankind. Such deeds of love com- mand the respect and admiration of the world. ln such acts as these do we find the true American safeguards. Why need we rely on arms as our strongest protection, when We have such a spirit as this resting under the bounteous banner of this Republic. Why do we look for Howitzers, for Zeppelins, for a warring host as our only protection, when we have this spirit as our motto written by Time's unflinching hand on the bold brow of this commanding Commonwealth. There is another phase of the American spirit which is a safeguard to our nation to-day. It is that principle which calls for the arbitration of national disputes. It is that principle which Wilson calls, 'fthe predominant passion of the American people. lt is the undying love for peace. The Prussian ideal was saturated with a desire for war, and war was the result. The American ideal is filled with a love of peace, and peace we shall have, if we only hold allegiance to the grand old American ideal, which is a veritable synonym for peace preservation. Never in the history of any nation have more threatening war clouds hovered over than over our country within the last two years. VVe have a fearless fighter in the YVhite House, but he fights with his pen, his intellect, and his soul, which are indeed mightier than any sword. He has sounded the call to watchful waiting, to patient forbearance, to sympathy and good will, 11 call tt Right, to Justice, to Peace. When the Lusitania was sunk, our Govern- ment was on the very border-brink of war, but grasping his patriotic pen. ll ll , . . ..- - lllllIlHHiIlIlllHI1IllllHlllllllllll!IIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlllllIIIIIIlll1lIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlIIllllIIlIlllllllllllllllllillllllllIlllllIIlllllllIIIllllllIIlllllIIIIlllllIIIllllllllillllllllllllll E R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-SIXTEEN vimii.mmiiwwiiuiiii-uwiiiiiimuiiiiimimiiinmumiiiiimu'iiiiiiwiwiiiiiiwi.imiinmmmmmiziiiiiiii-ifiv ii .w:..v-1... wi.. 'ii .Iwi M,i,,ii,-i W, .,,,.,.,,,,,,,,,,,, dipped in the strongest of the American ideals, with a longing desire for peace, yet with profound feeling for his country's honor, Wilson has practically adjusted the delicate situation. His was indeed the honor, but the triumph was of the American Ideal. What think ye? Do we need more enduring safeguards? We answer no. America does not live through force of arms, but through the strength of her national spirit. The nation which relies only on physical strength is destined to totter and then to fall. He that taketh up the sword shall perish by the sword. What has become of those mighty kingdoms of the past who put their trust in physical power? Where is the might of the Alexanders, the Caesars, and the Napoleons? They have long ago perished, and the only record is the remembrance of their brutal barbarisms and their uncontrolled selfishness. So let us realize that the real strength of our nation lies not in an army and navy, but rather in its great moral power. If we as a nation will only fear the God of nations and love our fellow man, then will we be imbued with that spirit which constitutes the true safeguard of this Republic. As we consider these guardian principles, are we not reminded that these are the very essence of Christianity itself. Indeed, if we will only cling to these high ideals, have we not a stronger protector in the person of God Almighty Himself, who holds His Angelic Legions ever-ready to protect an obedient nation? mlmmInnullIIlluiullmmmlllllliilllllllmiullImIninulIIniiinlmInImulllllmmllllllllmiimnuHuininlllllluwmlllllniiimlllllniiiiinulmmiiiulllllmiiiiiiimllmiiiiiiiunniiiiiiumulnmiiimunmiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiinimiiiiiiiimi . ii. . i lXIINE'l'EILN-SIX'I'IiIiN E R S K I N I A N A Uhr Ignrhvn nf Thr .7-kgs LNIOST two thousand years ago in the little village of Bethle- Kw xl hem, beneath a wonderful sky of stars, a Savior was born to men.

At that time the Roman legions were encamped throughout the Judean hills and on the ramparts of Jerusalem itself the Roman flag was unfurled to every breeze. The Savior of mankind came to bring peace to a warring world, yet even at the present time it seems that his sufferings were all in vain. His- tory is a bath of blood. The story of the lliad is one long recital of how Diomedes, Ajax and Hector killed. The history of Babylon, Greece, Carthage, Rome and all the other nations of the past, whose glory of former times is forgotten in the greatness ofthe present, is but a history of horrible warfare and of the most sickening bloodshed. The progress of man, of civilization, even of religion has been over mountains of dead bodies and across rivers of human blood. Throughout the ages men and nations have resorted to the most horrible means to gain power and un- lawful possessions. Might always made right. Smaller nations have been the prey of larger in the mad struggle for world supremacy. Ahab still murders Naboth for his vineyard. In the mad progress of the world the Little Babe of Bethlehem has been absolutely forgotten. No means has been spared to accomplish the desired end. lt is because of this that great nations ofthe past have sunk into oblivion, remembered only for their horrible deeds of cruelty. It is because of this that women and children have been made homeless and fatherless. It is because of this that babes have been snatched from their mother's breasts to suHer the most hor- rible deaths. Such is the gory nurse that has trained society to cohesiveness. lve have to thank this cruel history for the war-like type of man and for the capacity of physical heroism of which the human race is full. Our an- cestors have bred the lighting spirit into our bone and marrow and it will take many years of peace to breed it out of us. The popular imagination of to-day fairly fattens on the thought of war and bloodshed. hlen think that by war they will Win fame and glory and be lauded as brilliant heroes by generations yet unknown.

War is but an empty dream which lures men and nations to their doom. lt is a dark and threatening cloud from which falls no refreshing rain. lt is an oasis which is never reached. Through the ages the thunder of war has been heard. The parents of war are lust and passion, its chil- dren are desolation, death and despair. Wherever men are dying and orphaned ones are crying, where unprotected women are sighing, there the war god is found. To-day the bolts which have held civilization together are being broken. A world war is on. For the last twenty months the blood of the purest young manhood has Hown in rivers across the bloody battle- helds of Europe. Nine million of the Hower of the earth's manhood have sacrificed themselves upon the bloody altar of the war god. VVomen and children have perished of hunger.

When we last celebrated the birth of the Prince of Peace,and the hearts of American children were made glad by gifts, the only gifts the little children of Europe received were that of the dead bodies of brothers or fathers. Ships laden with merchandise of the World and freighted with human souls have found rest beneath the troubled sea. Men have snatched money from the hands of Women and children and spent it to buy arms and munitions of war with which to kill their brothers. To all this We say that We are thankful that our own nation has not become engaged in the great conflict, that We are free from the World con- llagration. But are we? To-day We are spending enormous sums of money to build battleships. When We increase our expenditures on the army and navy by six million dollars, when We are entering into a mad struggle for supremacy on the seas, when We call for four thousand volun- teers into our armies, can you admit that We are preparing for peace? When we hear so much about preparedness do We believe that our nation is pre- paring to carry on the peaceful pursuits of man? When we adopt such a course as this We are inevitably drifting toward militarism and just as in- evitably into War. If a man or a nation prepares the time will come when there will be a hght. Many advocates of preparedness say that our flag has been insulted, that We have been disgraced before the eyes of the World, that our citizens have been murdered by the European nations. But who is to blame? A World riot is on, our citizens have been Warned to keep out of the danger zone. But they Will not hear the voice of danger: they allow pleasure and the hope of Worldly gain to take them into almost certain death. The time has come when America must lead the forces of peace. The World looks to us to uphold the banners of the Prince of Peace. To-day when thousands are dying on the bloody battlefields of Europe, when the god of peace is in a death-grapple with the god of war, instead of plead- ing for war: I11 the 11111116 of hu1111111iry, I11 the 11111116 of the w01111'11 that sigh, I11 the 111111111 of the o1'pl111111'1I 01155 that cry, I11 tlze1111111e of the 111011 fha! die, I11 the 11111116 of G011' 111051' high, If! 115 pray for pvzzvv.

It was a bright spring day, and a slight breeze from the south ff-if was fanning his cheeks. The fragrance of the green blades of grass, and the bloomnig violets mingled with that of the newly ploughed ground. The birds were Hying hither and thither, busily getting food, yet they were not too busy to express their joy for the beautiful morning. However, all these things were unnoticed by Billy, for he was in deep meditation. During the last few days he had experienced a feeling alto- gether different from any other which he had ever had. Before this time he had thought that girls were fit only to play paper-dolls, bake mud pies, and such like. At school he had always opposed having the girls play in the same game with the boys, but lately he had been ring-leader in playing handkerchief with the girls, and had managed somehow or other to always hold Rebecca Williams' hand. Even now he was hurrying on in hopes of catching a glimpse of her before school. Just as he came in view of the forks of the road he caught a glimpse of a blue dress which made his heart jump into his mouth. He quickened his pace. The figure in front was walking slowly, but when she looked behind and saw Billy she began to walk faster. Billy quickened his pace into a run, and dashing up behind her he caught the ribbon of her hair, and untied it as he passed. You horrid boy, said Rebecca. Now you have my hair all down and how am I ever to get it up again? I'll put it up, said Billy. And a pretty looking sight it will be, too, said Rebecca. I always do up my sister Susie's. Well, come on then. So Billy began his task with trembling fingers, and a thumping heart. After a long silence he remarked, I always did like yellow hair, and red ribbons. I always did think a heap of freckled-faced boys, said Rebecca. Saying this they continued their journey, both taking bites time about from a big red apple which Billy's aunt had given him for recess. That morning Billy had a hard time with his lessons. He couldn't seem to get his mind on them, and consequently missed his spelling and arithmetic, and had to stay in at recess. After a few minutes work and explanation he was dismissed, and on coming out found everyone talking about the picnic to be given at Sidnev's ' Q1 -if-f - e -- - -1- - llllllIIIIIIlllIIllllllllIIIIIlllIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIIIlllllIIIIlllllllIIIllllIIIIllllllIIllIlllllIIIllllIIIIIIllllllIIIlllllIIIIlill!llIIllllllIIIIllllIIIIIIlllIIIIIIllllIIIIIlllIllIIIlllllllIIill!IIIIIilllllIIIlllllIIIIllllIIIIlllllIIIlllllIIIIIllllIIIIIlllllIIIlllllIIIIllllIIIIIllllIlllIlllIlIIIlllllIIIIlllllllIIIlllIIIIIIll!IIIIIlllllIlllllllllllllllll' E R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-SIXTEEN Cave the next day by the Sunday School. He had already arranged with Rebecca to sit by her in the big wagon which was to take them. The trip to Sidney's Cave was a long one, but Billy amused himself by showing Rebecca pictures which he had drawn the day before. Rebecca noticed something written on the opposite side of one of the pictures and reached for it, but Billy was too quick for her. He snatched it and put it in his pocket. She began to beg in whispers for it, but Billy whispered back, I can't let you see it. You will tell. Honest, I wonlt, Billy. Please. f'It wasnlt anything, anyhow, said Billy. Yes it was, toofl I can't do it, Bekkyf' Well, if you don't, I'll never have anything to do with you as long as I live. Hear me, Bill Rogers. Billy reached into his pocket, pulled out the picture, and held it be- fore her. Rebecca read these words: I love you. Her face turned red, and she said, Billy Rogers, Illl never have a thing to do with you as long as you livef' and then turned her head away. Billy, however, saw the pleased expression which flitted over her face. In a few minutes he began to display another picture. Rebecca tried not to look, but her curiosity was too great for her, and she began to look again. By this time the wagon had reached the cave. After a short prepara- tion dinner was eaten before the spring, near the mouth of the cave. After dinner was finished candles were brought from the wagon, and the party started on an exploring expedition thru the cave. Billy and Rebecca started out together, and for a while they had a lot of fun trying to get away from the bunch. They would take a passage leading in the opposite direction from that taken by the rest: yet in the end they would all come out in the same place. These rambles had taken them to the remote parts of the cave, and it was now that Billy saw a hole leading under a cliff, which he had never seen before. He was eager to explore it, and Rebecca was right at his heels. They crawled a few feet into the hole, and all at once came into a big roomy space. They both now began to run about looking at every- thing, and observing the beautiful colors of the walls. They followed every passage to its end. They were so enthused over their discovery that time slipped by unconsciously. It was not until Rebecca began to grow uneasy because of the strangeness of the place that Billy looked at his watch. It was six o'clock-time both of them should be on their way home. They now remembered that it had been a long time since they had heard any of the others. Both were panic-stricken, and began to retrace their steps quickly. As they went further Billy noticed that the place seemed altogether new. but lll .lIIIIllIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliillliilllllllllllllNNlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllllllflllllllllllilimiiii. ...,3illW T mi. lm N1Nu'i'i5L:N-S1x1'1f:r:N E R S K I N I A N A he kept his observations to himself. It was not till they had come to the end of a passage that had no outlet that Billy realized that he had lost his Way. He told Rebecca that he had gotten the way a little mixed, and should have taken the opposite passage, instead of this one. When they got back to the main passage he couldn't End one in the opposite direction, and after an hour of aimless wandering he admitted to Rebecca that they were lost. She sat down and began to cry. Billy was almost ready to cry him- self, but the sight of Rebecca made him feel that he must act a man's part, so he said, Bekky, hdonlt cry. Even if we don't find our way out ourselves the others will miss us, and send someone in search of us. XVe will just stay here near the stream, and listen. We will hear them halloo soonfl Rebecca stopped crying, and they sat on the rock listening, but there was no sound. Billy now began to halloo every little bit, but the echo was their only response. They say silent for a long while in the flickering light of the candle. Suddenly it went out with a little Hicker, and almost as suddenly Billy realized that it was their last one. Light another candle, said Rebecca. It is our last one, said Billy, and we will have to stay here until someone comes, for we can't go anywhere without a light. At hearing this Rebecca began to cry again, and all that Billy could do did not have any effect on her. At length her sobs came at longer intervals, and she fell asleep on his shoulder. After a time Billy fell asleep with Rebecca in his arms. In the meantime the party had gathered at the entrance of the cave, as had been arranged, and it was now for the first time that they missed Billy and Rebecca. They waited on them for half an hour, and then sent several boys in search of them. When all these came back without any success they realized that Billy and Rebecca were lost, or something had befallen them. The wagon was immediately sent ahead for help and more candles. When it came back it was filled with men. Rebecca's father and Billy's uncle were among them. The search was begun in a very enthusiastic man- ner, for all felt that the children would be found in a very short time, but by twelve o'clock nothing had been seen or heard of them. The search was continued all that night, and all the next day, but the results were the same. Some gave up in despair, but the relatives of the children continued the search ceaselessly, yet without finding any clues as to where they might have gone. During most of this time Billy and Rebecca had been asleep. lt was Rebecca who awoke first, and upon realizing her surroundings. she at once woke Billy. He looked at his watch, and by the dim light of the llll llll l ll-Q 4-1- l,llllllilllllISlllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllll1llIIlllllllIIIlllllIIIIllllllIiIlllllIIlIlllllIIIIlllllIIIllllIllIIIllllIIIlllllIlIIlIlllIIIIIIllIIIIIlllllIIIIllllIIIlllllIIIIIll!lllllllllllllllllllllll E R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-SIXTEEN i 1, nw. in wi, in or 1'v ' iii iii iimiwmawiiiiianiiwillH.iiiminiiiiimmmiummiiiiiiiiiinuwiwian cave saw that it was three o'clock. They were surprised to have slept so long, and began to search cautiously for a way out. After two hours of slow and tedious crawling they gave it up, and made their way back to the place where they had slept the night before. Rebecca suggested that they ought to say their prayers, so Billy putting the suggestion into action, be- gan his in a sitting posture. Rebecca interrupted him, and insisted that he should get on his knees, for she said, God will not hear you, if you can't take enough pains to get on your knees.'l This convinced Billy, so they knelt together. They were not sleepy, and so talked for what seemed like ages, about death, funerals, and homefolks. They soon began to picture their own funeral, but this was too much for Rebecca, and she began to cry, and again cried herself to sleep on Billyls shoulder. Billy shed a few tears him- self, but presently fell asleep. VVhen he awoke next morning he noticed that there seemed to be more light than the day before. He thought he could see a faint ray of light far down the passage on the opposite side of the cave. He began to shake Rebecca, who was moaning in her sleep, and at once told her about it. She seemed to be in a stupor, and she said she didn't care, for they were going to die, and this was just as good a place as any. After a good deal of tugging he finally awoke her, and at hearing his announcement hope sprang into her breast. She arose, and they made their way to the ray of light, which they found to enter from above. Billy climbed up the steep Wall, and pulled Rebecca up after him. They saw that the light was still brighter further on, and 'after rounding a curve saw a big opening in the far end of the passage. They stood spell-bound for a minute, then Rebecca caught Billy's hand and they rushed down the passage, and into the sunlight. They lost no time in making their way to the nearest house, and the joyful news of their discovery was soon spread everywhere. As the two young heroes told their story again and again it was finally recalled that the day before they got out had been cloudy, and this accounted for the fact that they had not seen the light earlier. A few days later two little figures were seen in a quiet corner behind the schoolhouse by the schoolmaster as he closed a window.

This Was Erskine's first year on the gridiron and taking this fact into consideration We have a recordthat We are by no means ashamed of. Although we 'f-f11f4'f-T-ff played eight games, lost seven and tied the eighthg they Were all played to a comparatively close score. The team manifested better form, more confidence and played with more vim as the season approached its close. Who can cay that We can not attribute this fact to Coach La- Motte's frankness, poise, and stickability? Who can question the fact that it was not due to his knowledge of the game from a psychological point of View as Well as a mechanical that the boys of Erskine Were able to manifest themselves so Well? Of the eleven that represented us on the Held this year only two were Seniors, and that is a promising feature for a good team next year. With nine of the varsity men appearing on the field next fall, and with the good bunch of scrubs that We had the past year-not taking into considera- tion What may appear in the Freshman Class: the denominational colleges may Well fear what Erskine can do for them the coming season. Manager McDonald has his scheduleiabout completed, a number of games being arranged. He has not as yet decided to our coach, but from the men who are being considered We can rest assured that we will have a man that will lead old Erskine to the front the coming season. Let us all hang to McDonald and Brice to whom ever our coach may be and rest assured that they will place a team on the field that will be a credit to themselves and the institution.

Although Monte is a member of the student body and has had no experience in this phase of college life, he has put out a good team and deserves credit for his zealous and earnest work. Our team is seriously handicapped in that we have to meet all other teams on indoor courts, while we are not fortunate in having an indoor court. However, the team has showed that the material is there. The whole team had the fighting spirit in them and never counted the game won or lost until the sounding of the referee's whistle declared time up. Our guards did excellent defensive work this year and, although thisiwas their first year in basket-ball, they were counted as good as any pair of guards on the Hoor. The other three members of the team go out from here this year: but a glance at the scrub line will show plenty of material to take their places next year. Although basket- ball is young in Erskine, this being only its third year, it gives promise of holding its own with the other phases of athletics here in Frskine.

Altho the team fga 1 did not win the championship in the South Carolina Inter- ihfiff Collegiate Athletic Association, it came very near doing so, coming in for second place. Eleven games Won and four lost is the record. Erskine this season had the distinction of being the only team in the State to defeat Clemson, which institution is usually represented by one of the strongest teams in the State. This was done twice in hard- fought contests on the home diamond. This was the first time Erskine had defeated Clemson since IQIO. During the season some strong teams were defeated, While others were held to small scores. Among the for- mer Were teams from: VVest Virginia Wesleyan College, Clemson Ag- ricultural College, Wofford College and Furman University. The Citadel was held to a 312 score. Excellent team strength was shown, and this is generally credited to the coaching of HBuck Pressly, Whose superior ability in this line is unquestioned. Some features of the work of the season were the pitching of Wolff and the catching and hitting of lVIc- Daniel. Wolff Won eight games out of eleven. lVIcDaniel's batting aver- age Was .4o4, which is considered a good average for a college player. VVorthy of note also is the pitching of Hawthorne, who Won three games out of four, and the fielding of Barron on first base, who fielded clean 139 out of I4I chances. The entire team played steady and consistent baseball during the whole season, and, generally speaking, was one of the best in the State. Jim Phillips was Captain. Four members of the team were mentioned for the All-Association team by Dr. VV. L. Pressly, who is eminently competent to pick such a team. These were: YVolff. Pitcher: lVIcDaniel, Catcher: Edwards, Right Field, and Barron, First Base. So much for the last season. As the sun of another season peeps over the horizon, he discloses very nearly all of the last season's team in their old places, and some excellent fresh material. The prospects for 1916 are, therefore, the brightest. Buck Pressly will again Coach, and Monte lXlcDaniel is Captain. We will be satisfied with nothing less than the rag this year. I-Iere's hoping that the end of the season will find it floating over Grier Field! llllllIliIH11HIiHIIHHIIIIlIHiH1IliIIillllH1llIIlNHHHIIIHMNMUNWIIIEHHWH1Il!HHNNHHIIHHHHHHIHIHHHH2ill!lWHHllI!WHHHIIKHHHNHHHEIYVNUWH!lIIliliW.i.Q.fW?Qf2fl LW ff+.?Y2I.IIM.iI ffillliL11I3QI.QHLLUHW!'!!I!1Hl.I.f.. ,L A NINETEEN-SIXTEEN E R S K I N I A N A ' Ll, . 4 A: . , . gy i t .fe 4 I ' fm r X3 ge Z if S ' i, - sfnlyl 343, L f 2' 2 1 1 XLR?

Prof. G.- Why, in simple language, Mr. Gault, it means Jacquelin Spratt could assimulate no adipose tissue. His wife on the other hand possessed an aversion for the more muscular form, so between them both they removed all foreign substance from the utilitarian utensil commonly called the platter. Does that make it clear? Gault- Yes, but l had never anticipated anything like that. Pk wk PF The formation of plurals that the Freshman proposed to investigate upon entering college: We will begin with a box and the plural is boxes. But the plural of ox should be oxen and not oxes. Then one fowl is a goose but two are called geese. Yet the plural of mouse should never be meese. If the plural of man is always men, Why should not the plural of pan be pen. If one is a tooth a whole set is teeth, Why should not the plural of both be called beth? You may find a large mouse or a whole lot of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses and not hice. The one may be that, three may be those, Yet the plural of hat would never be hose. The masculine pronouns are he, his, him. Why should not the feminine be she, shis, shim. :lf Pk PI4 Dr. McCain- Mr. Rodman, do you know where Herod showed his genius in to-day's lesson ?

'A have them and they are usually given by some astute cognotator to commemorate some peculiar characteristic or some special incident in the life of recipient. Here are some of the handles acquired by our aspiring young class. Did you ever see a class that didn't have someone to whom they could look for guidance and council? Did you ever see a class that did not have an ancestor of some sort? There was one of our number when we were verdant Freshmen who had the line of age writ on his face and dabs of wisdom sticking out the top of his head. He fitted the bill to perfection and Dad Caldwell became the father of our class. Later on in the course of his guiding star he was called K. C., which stands for Kansas City, and was given because when Dad Was sojourning in the Wild and Woolly West last summer he had a peculiar affinity for the aforesaid city. Our class enjoys the distinction of having the only and original Irish- man in captivity who has never kissed the Blarney Stone. Silent hlurphy was so named by Coach Lalfitte because of his inability to get Silent to say anything. It is rumored that a certain young lady at the Woman's College tried to get Silent to say something about the approaching ban- quet and that she had no success either. Pete Was bestowed upon this Irishman because it just naturally goes with the Irish patronymic, hlurphy. A bright and flaming spirit there is among us, bright and flaming in regard to head covering and intellectual ability and with a bright and flaming smile when he sees a certain lady of our acquaintance. That is Sunbeam Grier. Several years ago there was an aspirant to basket-ball honors who Wore spectacular spectacles. A callow youth on the side lines was heard to remark, Oh, look-a-there at old Specks trying to shoot a goal. The goal was shot and the name of Specks has stuck fast to Specks Plaxco ever since. Where was a man who inherited the name of Bishop from his father. but Bish suited our linquistic abilities better than Bishop and Bishop Bonner became Bish to us. I X-' f-f i W lllllllIIIllIllIIIIllllIIlllllllllIIIIlllllIIlllllllIlIIIINIIIIIIIHHIIIilllIIllIIIIIllllIIIilllllIIIIllllIIIIIIll!llIIIIlllllIIIIlllllIIIIlllllIIIIIlllllIIIIIllllIlIIIHHllIlllllIIIIIIlIUIIIIIIllllIIIIHHIIIIIHillIIIIllllllIIIIHIllIIIIHIIIIIlillllIIIllllIIIIIINllIIIIINHIIIll!lllIIIllllIIIlllllIIIIllllIIIlillllIIIllllllIIIIlllllllIillllllllllllllll F R S K I N I A N A NINETEEN-SIXTEEN ln order to say the name of one of our class it is necessary not to be too picayunish about using a little profanity. But then you can't blame us at all for really we only followed the simplest rules of spelling. Any one can see that D-A-M spells Dam, so you can't blame us for calling D. A. Miller, Dam Miller. Roderick sounded too much like we were reading some of the poetry of Sir VValter Scott to suit our prosaic minds, so we changed it to Roddy Beard. W. W. W., now isn't that a combination of W's? He never would tell what they all stood for so we called him VVilliam Wheelbarrow Wolff to fill all those W's up. W. C. Grier was discovered in the act of paying two cents extra for a one-cent letter. In a few minutes he was up on Forbidden making wickets with one of the broadest smiles that you ever saw on the face of a brass monkey. No one but a good sport could stand such a strain as that with such a cheerful countenance, so we just had to call him Sport. T. R. Miller has a very peculiar walk about him. He kinder spreads his legs out and thrusts his head forward and wabbles along like an elephant. We searched long for a name to apply to that walk but the best we could do was to give the name of Booty Ketchin who had a sim- ilar walk to Booty Miller. We all like to dance but there is one six foot two incher among us who is very graceful in doing the lame duck waltz. On account of this marvelous ability as a Terpsichorean he was called Lame Duck by his friends. A little nine-year old angel came to us disguised in sheep's clothing, called Buster Moffatt. When he heard Paul Nliller called Lame Duck he immediately claimed that Ugly Duckling would suit him better and Ugly Duckling it has become. . When a man has a label like William you can tell a whole lot about that man by the abbreviation that is used for that name. Now, if he is called Bill you may look for a tough nut, if VVilliam he is a kind of a prude, but if it is Willie you may just as well put it down that there is not another man in the country who can be his equal when it comes to dealing with the ladies. His name is VVilliam David Dickey. When a young man tries to make a young lady think that he is serious in his love for her and can get no better response than that she will always regard him as a brother, then that man is in a hard row of stumps. But when the same process is applied to several ladies with the IIIllllllllIlllllilllllIIIIllilllllIIIIllllllllIllllllllIIIIllllllllIIIIllllllllIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIlllllIIIIIIIlllllIIIIIIIllllllllIIIIIllllllllllIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIlllllIllIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIllllillIIIIIIIIlllilIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIlllilllllllllllllllllllHHIIIIllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllillllllll NINETEEN-SIXTEEN E R S K I N I A N A liianInnnumiiIIIinIIinIiniiiilIIinIirrsi1u1IniIIiiii1inIIiiIIiii44inIIIniiiininiuiiiiiiiimmiiiimiiiiuuiiiiiiiiui iiaiimwimiiiiiiiiiif41ii111iiiiiiimmmiiiiiiviiiiiiiiii1iw.Wiliiiiiiiiii-mi-iiiiiiiiiimwii-viwww in same result it is but natural that in time all the ladies will be calling him Brother. In the case of Brother Brownlee we soon shortened it to Bubber Brownlee. Killer McCain received this cognomen from the fact that ever since he was in the graded school he had a habit of hitting the teachers in his lessons. In fact, he is so proficient in this that he received the name of Killer. L. A. Brown received the name of Trusty from Ape Lindsey. Ape said that Trusty was the only one in the class whom he would trust with anything that belonged to him. Now, Lily was such a toothsome morsel in the mouth of the whole class that they could not bear the idea of having it changed to anything else. So Miss Lily Brooks has remained Miss Lily to us all. It is reported that Buck Kennedy inherited his name from Buck Pressly but we have very serious doubts as to the truth of that. In the dim ages of infancy the twins called each other Betty. And now in the days of their old age there is much discussion as to whether their real nickname is Betty or whether it is McCormick. Now, I didn't intend telling my nickname, but they said that I must. Manager and Slick I inherited from older people. Rabbit I am called because I once extricated myself from an embarrassing position by very rapid pedimentary locomotion. g -R.
